Gerber Chonk Micarta Pry Bar

Useful piece of kit very strong for its size.

I’ve read that the main flaw is the position of the large hole immediately behind the pry-edge, weakening this function. In this respect, it would probably better at far-end, sacrificing a bit of micarta scale. In reality, bearing in mind what this tool would actually be used for & could be expected to achieve, this seems more of a theoretical disadvantage. Moreover, the size & position of the hole allows pressure to be exerted without fingers slipping thereby enhancing the screwdriver function,. Thus, it is more a question of individual priorities. A further worry that the cap-lifter’s position could “gouge” a user’s hand when applying prying or screw-driving force seems far-fetched. A “piece of metal” it may be, but it is a very well-finished & (unlike the Shard) does not have 6 sharp point/corners which will tear/puncture your clothing/skin very quickly & could be comfortably carried within a trouser/jacket pocket for a time if need be. Provided the price is acceptable it’s worth trying. I did & rate it 3.5 stars ie “OK+“.

Great EDC Pocket Prybar, picked this up for a great price, has lots of functions and is very sturdy.

Just a good pry bar to go into the pocket, comfy, definitely cuts open boxes and envelopes, screwdriver works and takes up no room. this is my second one - have the topo as well. HH sell these about as competitively as its gets - seen these for £30, to get one for £10 - makes it one of the best EDC pick ups you can get.

Good solid piece of kit and a very useful compact tool. Easily carried in a jeans or jacket pocket. HH were able to sell and deliver next day for cheaper than I could buy in my local shop.

Been using this for the last few weeks I've found it very useful always at hand in my pocket .it's tough and reassuringly heavy for it size .at around £20 it get used as intended for all the hard jabbing prying scraping jobs that I dont want to do with my knife . I really rate this tool .

Usual good Gerber quality, handy & compact. It's surprising how often I use it.
